... That no prayer goes unanswered? That even if it SEEMS like your prayer is unanswered, maybe the situation you are trying to change you are meant to go through? That perhaps it is a life lesson that you need to accept and learn before you can move past it?

why a jew can grow his bread in order to practice his faith But when a muslim does the same, he is an extremist & terrorist. Why a nun can b coverd from head 2 toe to devote herself to God, BUT when muslimah does so, shes oppressed..When a western women stays at home to look after her house and kids she is respected because of sacrificing herself and doing good for the household?
But when a Muslim woman does so by her will, they say, "she needs to be liberated"!

When a Christian or a Jew kills, someone religion is not mentioned, but when Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam that goes to trial!
When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respect him.But when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated -- He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim ???

this is the dimocrated free world we live in....

I attended this youth camp when i was 13, and there was this girl who upon coming back into the gathering room after being baptized with the Holy Spirit, started to speak in tongues in the finale of our praise and worship.

Now, it was unlike any other tongues that i've heard. Some other types of tongues make me doubt, but hers really felt genuine and hard to fake. It was not like babbling as i heard other people do. It sounded like she was speaking rapidly in Chinese, then Italian, then sort of Latin and Arabic. But it was so fast and she was so sweaty.

She was the type of girl who is unassuming and reserved. To help you picture her out, she's like a shy country girl. How could a shy country girl sweat profusely and speak rapidly for 3 minutes, other than the presence of the Holy Spirit? And it was a Catholic event too! Does that say that evangelical Christians who discredit Catholic practices are wrong? Or does that simply say that God just looks into the heart of people...

Then let's give the Hare Krishnas a country in India, the Orthodoxs a country in Greece... I really think Israel is a lump in the Middle Eastern natural Arabic esence. Now they are "defending" their country, but when Palestinians try to defend their own land they are terrorists... haha! This is a weird unfair world.

Why don't we provide marriage ceremonies for our farm animals, the idea of them sinfully fornicating puts one off of eating them, I realise many have immaculate conceptions through artificial insemination but certainly not all do!

who come here just to deride the beliefs of believers rather than learn what and why they believe?

OK, we don't believe in ANY gods. However, we can be just as moral and altruistic as those who believe. Just as some who believe can behave immorally and selfishly.

What most of us feel is that we all have a right to believe what we feel is right and not try to force our beliefs on others.

As a great man once said. " I disagree with your views, but I'll defend with my life your right to express them".

What is contained in the Surat al Taubah? I have finally gotten enough Sihafa and Sufi Arabic down to read the Arabic only Qur'an I bought in Rawalpindi Pakistan, and I am abhorred to say that the english version is decidedly "sugar coated". This question for Muslims, without giving me the spiel of "Islam is peace", "Muslims are peacefull", explain to me how on earth your scholars can justify the bloodlust in these verses? How do you interpret such things? Why are these practices prescribed? How do you live with the knowledge of condoned and encouraged,(As I percieve it), wrong doing?

mormons jehovah's witnesses and many other groups don't believe that Jesus is God. Is that pure stupidity or what you called brain washing by their Leader. Isaiah 9:6 clearly states also that Jesus is the mighty God and eternal father. and you say you believe in the Bible???

It must totally suck to be god. Or do you think maybe he takes human form to come down to earth to hang out and party?

First, anyone can post anything, only those answers that follow the rules have a chance at Best Answer.

Second, "God works in mysterious ways" and similar answers are null statements. They are equivalent to saying "I don't know" and thus eliminate themselves from the contest.

Third, contending answers must stipulate the following:
1. The God of the OT is the same God of the NT.
2. That God is a God of love and infinite mercy.
3. That God is a family-values kind of God. He hates the shedding of innocent blood and loves little kids.
4. God hates the sin but loves the sinner, sacrificing His only Son for the sins of the world, etc.

Rules are clear?

All you have to do is explain why God did what he did in a selected verse, and why you approve of His choice.

Let's start with an old favourite of mine: II Kings 2: 23-24.
God sends 2 bears who rip apart 42 "little children" for calling his prophet (Elisha) "Baldy".

Is he watching you from above?
Does he really love?
Where is he when one dies?
Does he see the eyes of those who cry?
The world is nothing but dry.

He could be made up.
Yet, the earth revolves around the sun.
He could be made up.
Yet, my heart pumps.

I see that you love him and worship nothing but him.
Should I invite him in?
Will he guide?
Or should I hide?
Why does one die?

Is he already within me?
Do I just need to look in the mirror?
He keeps you sane.
But, why is the world insane?

Who is he?
Why will he care?
One day he will give me hope.
Why? I don’t know nope.
